not sure i'm convinced by paradise, the 3d engine is excellent, very fast and fluid however I think they've killed the game with the aimless wandering around to find races and everytime you want to swap cars.
The compass/direction indicator is a little hard to see when you are driving flatout and trying to watch the road and the satnav gives lousy directions, one wrong turn and you find yourself way off course and out of the race.
Some of the cornering is difficult at speed (or maybe its the crappy cars i'm in) and the fact that you can no longer destroy same way traffic makes for a lot more wrecks of your own car.
I'll persevere and maybe i'll find some good points.

I'd agree with those points. I'd prefer to be able to pinpoint a location on the map and have a direction arrow show which way to go, the existing one is pointless. I also seem to wreck my car far too easily even hitting cars from behind, which was half the fun of previous Burnouts.
I am enjoying chasing down cars to unloack them though and trying to pull stunts, especially in the quarry.
Not sure I'm sold on the road rules and showtime either. Can't argue with the graphical quality and totally seemless online integration.

even with the indicators and road signs flashing telling you the way to go it doesnt help and when i looks at either of them ive crashed.
Havent got the hang of showtime, on the odd occasion i can manage 100,000
with these frustrating points im finding this game stresses me out more than enjoyment. The only thing i enjoy is working out how to get the billboards

Showtime isnt too bad (when i finally figured out (with Messiah's help) that you have to be moving when pressing LB+RB, the key is to hit as many buses as poss as they give you the multipliers.
